Hi Big Sage,
It seems to me that you want to go wireless. I "wired" my home three years ago as we have five work stations (plus LAN). But currently, only one machine remains that isn't on a wireless card and Airport Base Station. The cables are now essentially useless.
Unless there are circumstances to which I am unaware (and there's plenty of opportunity for me to show off my ignorance), I would recommend saving the money on wiring and instead invest in an airport base station... same with phones - the new Siemens wireless system (can accomodate eight "floaters" has rendered physical phone wiring obsolete (and I know that other maufacturers ared already there as well)
Happy Holidays,
eric
